Veeam has been a game-changer for our organization. Since the first day of implementation till now, we have not had any issues with it. It works better than any backup software that we have used in my 25 years in IT. We do not have to worry about failed or missed backups as it just consistently works. It is also so much faster than any other backup software we have used and is very user-friendly. We rarely have to call support but when we have, the support has been top-notch. I would highly recommend this to anyone.

We have numerous data that is on-prem and in hybrid cloud that needs to be backed up. We are also want protection also from a cyber security attack. Our challenge is to have a central system to backup, restore, and replicate our operations among different platforms (Windows, Linux, MacOS) . The goal is to replace our legacy backup systems.

Finally, we have a global data protection strategy that simply works as we wish. In terms of operations, we bring four main points: 1. No more shadow costs linked to data protection policies; 2. Apps migration to AWS is no longer a bottleneck with the VUL model; 3. A clean main overview of our data protection strategy; 4. VB4AWS is a module of Veeam's main composable solution, so you can integrate different technologies into a unified view.

I currently use Veeam Backup for AWS to store backups offsite with Immutability and Encryption. Some of these features we took advantage of help our overall security posture and meet some of our compliance requirements. Our insurance company also has encouraged us to implement some of these features to reduce downtime if something were to happen. I'm confident in our Veeam and AWS setup that data is protected and accessible if I was need access.

Before Veeam I used a few different solutions and didn't have a single pane of glass to backup both on and off prem. Veeam solved that problem and has gotten better with each major version, I started with 9.x and now I'm on 12.x and couldn't be happier. The cost of course is high but you get what you pay for.

We have a huge database and this has been a lifesaver and a timesaver for our organization. It's so easy to navigate and use and we have had no problems at all, I would definitely recommend this to other agencies and users. We no longer have to worry about backup and we are secure.

Veritas backup software is a friendly user backup software which is safe and secure by all means and well protected with all features including cloud storage protection as well. The best GUI which i have ever seen compared to other complex software and with a very good track record. The ease of use for any simple new user with very minimal clicks to enable, schedule or restore backups is the core of this application.

Veaam backup makes it easy to back up all of our servers and instances in AWS. The process is straightforward and simple enough to administer, and leaves very little room for error. The process of setting it up is straightforward, and once set, it can be trusted to just work.Decent, if somewhat pricey option.

Veeam Backup for AWS has been utilised seamlessly in our environment for both physical and virtual machines. It streamlines the backup of our cluster which includes Windows and Linux boxes. We easily built out a scale out backup repository in AWS based around retention plans that store in both S3 and Archive. The backups are easy to run and monitor.

We have used Veeam Backup for AWS for a couple of our clients. One of those clients had multiple workloads on AWS as well as on their office server. We suggested to them that they need a reliable, easy-to-use backup and remove the dependency on their only one server. We said to them that just like the migration (lift & shift) we did for them for many of their workloads to AWS, they now need to have a backup on AWS for at least their critical workloads. Then we worked with them to analyze if that backup should be Veeam Backup for AWS or Rubrik. They decided on Veeam Backup for AWS. There was one more project where did a lift & shift migration and from day one this client is using Veeam Backup for AWS.

I have been using Veeam since 2012 and it is one of the best backup solutions out there. Their software is easy to implement, support, and especially recover information when needed. Their sales and support teams are top notch and provide some of the best service out there. If you're looking for a solution to backup your AWS instances, then make sure you try Veeam! You will not be disappointed.

Veeam Backup is such an easy product to use. Before I came to my current position they had no backup solutions, do disaster recovery plans and no retention policies on any of our infrastructure. Through all my research Veeam really stands out above the rest. The ease of setup and use and the continued changes are simple to implement with the product. Once it is setup it is one of the easiest that I have had to manage.
